Ingredients
 

  • 1.75 Pounds Cherry tomatoes
  • 4 cloves Garlic, smashed
  • 1/2 Red onion, sliced
  • 16 leaves Basil
  • 8 Peppercorns
  • cup White Vinegar
  • cups Pinot noir
  • 2 tsp Canning salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash all the jars, bands, and lids in hot soapy water. Prepare the water bath and bring to a boil.
  • In a saucepan, bring the vinegar and wine to a slow simmer, do not boil.
  • Place the smashed cloves, red onion slices, basil leaves, and peppercorns into the jars.
  • Fill the jars with the tomatoes and put 1/2 tsp of canning salt into each.
  • Pour the vinegar/pinot noir into the jars. Using the bubble popper, remove any trapped air. Top off each jar so that there is 1/2-inch headspace.
  • Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, dry paper towel. Place the lids and bands onto the jars and tighten.
  • Place the jars into the water bath, cover, and process for 35 minutes.
  • Once the jars are finished, turn off the heat, remove the lid, and remove the jars to a towel lined cutting board. Allow to rest for 12 hours before labeling and dating. If any jars do not seal, they should be refrigerated and used first.
